How to get the key string of a selected node on vb.net?

Question

I am trying to get the Key string of a selected node on the TreeView; I know how to get index, name, imagekey, etc... But I am having a hard time getting the Key string.

Thank You.

Answer 1

The documentation says this:

"The Name property corresponds to the key for a TreeNode in the TreeNodeCollection."

So if you are getting the name, you are already getting the key.

This is the code I tried:

        Dim tv As New TreeView
        tv.Nodes.Add("Key1", "Apple")
        tv.Nodes.Add("Key2", "Banana")
        Me.Controls.Add(tv)
        For Each n As TreeNode In tv.Nodes
            Debug.WriteLine(n.Name)
        Next

Hope this helps.
